Abstract: Lomonaco and Kauffman developed a knot mosaic system to introduce a precise and workable definition of a quantum knot system. This definition is intended to represent an actual physical quantum system. A knot (m,n)-mosaic is an $mimesn$ matrix of mosaic tiles ($T_0$ through $T_{10}$ depicted in the introduction) representing a knot or a link by adjoining properly that is called suitably connected. $D^{(m,n)}$ is the total number of all knot (m,n)-mosaics. This value indicates the dimension of the Hilbert space of these quantum knot system. $D^{(m,n)}$ is already found for $m,nleq6$ by the authors. In this paper, we construct an algorithm producing the precise value of $D^{(m,n)}$ for $m,ngeq2$ that uses recurrence relations of state matrices that turn out to be remarkably efficient to count knot mosaics. ${\displaystyle }$ D^{(m,n)} = 2 , | (X_{m-2}+O_{m-2})^{n-2} | ${\displaystyle }$ where $2^{m-2}imes{2}^{m-2}$ matrices $X_{m-2}$ and $O_{m-2}$ are defined by ${\displaystyle }$ X_{k+1} = �egin{bmatrix} X_k & O_k \ O_k & X_k end{bmatrix} mbox{and } O_{k+1} = �egin{bmatrix} O_k & X_k \ X_k & 4 , O_k end{bmatrix} ${\displaystyle }$ for $k=0,1,cdots,m-3$, with $1imes1$ matrices $$ and $$. Here $|N|$ denotes the sum of all entries of a matrix $N$. For $n=2$, $(X_{m-2}+O_{m-2}{)}^0$ means the identity matrix of size $2^{m-2}imes{2}^{m-2}$.
